Geo. Muir Commits Suicide.

News was received here Sunday morning that Geo. Muir, who was for several years resident of Prescott, had committed suicide in Albuquerque, on Saturday night. While regretting the accomplishment of the act, his friends here were not at all surprised by the news. as the deceased had made num- Der of attempts here, during the last year of his residence in Prescott
 MT. Muir left Prescott m the early part of the year. and has since, It IS sad, visited his former home in New York and other places in the east, the last letter received from him, being from town in Ohio, in which he stated that he was working his way westward again. The Odd Fellows of this place, of which he was a member, wired to Albuquerque to have his remains decently inferred at their expense. He was also member of the lodge of Knights of fythias here.
 Deceased was man of more than average intelligence and possessed oi many noble traits of character. In fact, q more tender and sympathetic nature than Geo. Muir possessed, Is rarely found. He would not only share, but would give his last iarthing to relieve one in distress. There was an under current in his life however, just what II was no one knew, to get away from which, like so many others, he took to drink, neglected his business, lost his situation here, eliminating as above.
 He was about 5s years of age.

Volcano in the Dragons.

From Frank Duran, who came in the city yesterday evening from the Dragoon mountains, the Epitaph learns that on the day of the earthquake, volcano, or what is supposed 10 be one, burst forth from a summit in the Dragon mountains, about one and half miles from Middle Pass. Al the time of the shake MT. Duran was in company with some Mexicans, getting out wood to haul to town. He employs Mexicans with burrcs to pack the wood from the mountain fastnesses to the accessible points, and il vas while engaged al this, the shock came. They were near the top of the mountain, and m the midst of the shock, which was quite severe, he heard . great noise as the report of numerous cannon, one after the other, following which he saw an immense volume of smoke arising He started toward the place, and when about three quarter. oi a mile from IL, he was met with huge boulders of rock, which were being hurled down the mountain side with great force by some unknown power. He saw A large crevice In the mountain side, from which smoke was issuing. The explosions continued and the Mexicans becoming frightened, left their burres and fed for their lives. MT. Duran would not venture any closer on account of the flying missiles, but Is confident that what he saw was genuine volcano, and on his return to the mountains he proposes to go to the place and investigate more closely Tombstone Epitaph

WEDNESDAY. .. MAY IS. 1887.
Printers Day.

Thursday, May 18th, was the birthday of George w. Childs, of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and as such was cele- brated e Printers Day by all printers east of the Mississippi river. The craft west of that point celebrate the 9th Of September in like manner, that day be ing the birthday of A. J. Drexel, the well-known Philadelphia banker. The occasion of the observance of these days by the craft arose from the fact that at the meeting of the International union held in Pittsburg, in June, lSs6, each of the above gentlemen presented the union with his check for $500. The donation VAS made without any suggestions or conditions as to the manner m winch II should be expended. The union de- cided to use the money in founding home for superannuated printers, to be located at Philadelphia. On the recur- ring anniversaries of these gentlemen the printers donate the price of l'"O ems of composition or one hours tune to the fund, those east of the Mississippi celebrating Child's birthday, and those west celebrating Drexels. The names Of both gentlemen are also carried as honorary members on the rolls of at least twothirds of the typographical unions of the United States. Many of the pub lishing houses throughout the United States duplicate the amount contributed on Pnntes' Day by the printers m their employ, and it will not be long until a very handsome fund will be obtained. The Craftsman, the official organ of the International Typographical union, in honor of the occasion, this week pub- fishes biographical sketches of Messrs. Child and Drexel, together with excel lent portait illustrations and fac simile of the GIG, 900 check. It also contains . descriptive article on the Government printing office at Washington, with DOT trait and biography of Public Printer Benedict. Altogether, it is very fine number of that sterling trade journal, and reflects great credit upon the enter prising publishers. Messrs. Ramsey & Bisbee, of Washington.

o0ogO Land tor Settlers.

From Nr. J. Despair the Gazette learns that the Stanwix canal, near Sem tinel station on the Southern Pacific railroad, which started two years ago. is completed for distance of five miles, and it is the intention to extend if for \ distance of five miles further. It is twelve feet wide on the bottom and will when completed, reclaim as fine body of land as can be found in this or any other country. It is rapidly being taken up by eastern people, principally from Hi nois and Kansas. The canal being taken out by the Messrs. Manning Brothers, about seventy-fve miles below the Buckeye canal. is well under way, being built for . distance of about five miles long, and when completed from actual surveys, it is estimated that one hundred and sixty thousand acres of land will be reclaimed by it. Both of these canals gre within the citrus belt of Arizona and will add materially to the taxable wealth of Maricopa and Yuma counties

There was nothing in it, of course, as case oi that dread malady has never been known in Arizona, but ii resulted in the extermins- ton Of nearly every canine in the town. Now, if the good people of Flagstaff would only pass that hydrophobiA scare along this way with the same happy result, life in Kingman would he happier"

The matter of water storage in Arizona is not serious or difficult proposition as might be supposed Almost all our streams in passing from the mountains to the mesas and plains. do so through box canyons, that in large number of instances need a dam bu; 8 few hun dred feet in length 10 shut of the stream and the amount of water held in reserve will only be measured by the night of the dam. The Sal, river for instance, should it ever he desirable, might be turned into a reservoir oi twenty miles in extent, but short distance above the mouth of the Verde. by building dam probably not over 300 feet in length and 100 feet high. The expense of such work would be comparatively light, while the additional area of lands iha, might be brought into cultivation by such means would be very extensive.

HERE AND THERE.

A price has been put upon the head of
the sea serpent by Snowman Barnum, who
offers $40, 900 for the monster dead or alive.
Here is an inducement which induces.
The Michigan man who tried TO light a
fire with some wood from a box which
had contained nitro. glycerine, succeeded.
But he can't do it again.
August weather proverbs when the
dew is heavy in August the weather gen.
orally remains fair. When in the beginn-
ing of August thunder storms are passing
they will generally last to the end of the
moHth. When in August the sun shines
warm and moon and stars are bright it is
good for grapes, because they then ripen
well. When it rains in August it rains
honey and wine. If the first week in
August is unusually warm, the winter
will be white and long. When the months
of July, August and September are un-
usually hot, January will be the coldest
month. AS August, so the next Februa-
ry. AS Bartholomew's day (24), so the
whole autumn.
In the contest about collateral inheri-
tance tax upon the estate of John Dubois
decision has been rendered in the Clear
field courts by Judge Krebs in favor of
the Commonwealth. The large amount
involved and the nature of the case have
caused it to attract general attention. John
Dubois was one of the most extensive
and wealthy lumbermen in the State. He
lived at Dubois, Clearfield County, where
he had large body of timber land and
extensive saw-mills. He died May 5,
1886, unmarried, aged II years and reput-
cd to be worth millions of dollars. His
nephew, John Il. Dubois, claimed nearly
all the property under deed of January
IL, 1884. The unpaid collateral inheritance
tax amounts to Sl36,000. 1t is supposed
the case will be carried to the Supreme
Court.
The Clarion correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Sunday Leader says David King,
the murderer, whose case has been taken
to the Supreme Court, grows more conf
dent each day that he will never hang
The future does not seem to bother him
much, and Is for the present, many a man
would worry and fret more about being
shut up for few dollars cost than King
does for his life. During the trial it was
said the confinement was telling on his
health, and that he would not live to be
hung. There is no complaining now, and
he does not look as if he had any notion
of quitting this world in natural way
but struts back and forth in his cell like 1
well fed, hale and hearty dude. He longs
for the companionship of Mrs. Dinsmore
his associate in iniquity and murder who
occupies a cell on the same floor, anG
pleads to the turnkey to permit HIM ia
visit her. But it is in vain he is never
out of his cell, and will be kept there un-
iii he marches out under the shadow o
the gallows."

Remarkable Electric Display.

A remarkable display of electricity
was witnessed by lovers Of the sublime
at Grand Valley, Pa, on Friday eve
ming, Aug. 9Th. Rain fell in torrents
from 5 o'clock until 8; there was but
little atmospheric disturbance. The
clouds coming from the northeast
meeting Others apparently coming
from, the. southwest and for two hours
the elements appeared to be at war.
The most vivid flashes of lightning
darted from the clouds to earth, fol.
lowed by deafening peals of thunder
Like a mighty pail the over hanging
clouds Of blackness remained motion
less. But the most remarkable nature
Of the phenomena was the frantic dis
play of luminous meteors, differing
from ordinary meteors, by paying no
respect to the laws of gravitation.
Balls like fire would fall to within a

ct, sending innumerable fragments at
right angles from the travel of the
mass. These explosions we're followed
by thud not unlike that of distant
artillery fire. Other bodies of the
strange matter would form, dart of
horizontally in an easterly direction
for a considerable distance, then turn
squarely upward and fade away; and
others assumed serpentine figure,
leaving lurid trace of their travels.
Then another rivaled all other freaks,
by towering upward in the form of a
spiral; at times large masses Of the
mysterious matter would form, then
dissolve aud descend in shower like
drops of molten gold. Beautiful,
grand and sublime was the pageant
that provoked emotions of delight and
fear, from the astounded beholders.

A SERIOUS GAS EXPLOSION AT
GUSHER CITY
Results in the Destruction Of Sever
al Buildings, and Seriously
Burns Two Women.

On Saturday evening last about 1880
p. M, the people of Gusher City, this
county, were startled by terrific ex-
plosion. On hasty investigation, the
st. Petersburg House was found to be
a mass of ruins and all on fire, caused
by leaky gas pipe under the house.
The house was occupied by family
named Phipps. The family consisted
of Mr. Phipps, his wife and child and
a lady by the name of Lizzie Manson.
Miss Mason was in the act of light
ing the fire in the stove. She struck
a match and the explosion followed.
Miss Manson was seriously burned
internally, and is not expected to live.
1frs. Phipps, who was standing close
by with the badly in her arms, was
badly burned, but neither mother nor
child are considered burned fatally.
Afr. Phipps lost his all, besides S53 in
cash, which was in the house. The
citizens are circulating a subscription
paper for their relief. The number of
buildings burned are as follows: st.
Petersburg House, owned by John
Reagan, loss 5000 Conway & Graham
groceries, loss SO 800; insurance 81, 100.
The next building consumed by the
fire was the town hall. This building
is an irreparable loss to the town;
stage effects and theatrical parapher-
MALTA went up in smoke, loss $1,000
Citizens say the hall will be rebuilt
The next buildings, A. l.. Anderson,
Captain j. j. Haight's cottages, the
Captain was on business at Warren
On returning at 10 p. M, he found
his pleasant home in ashes. The next
came the residence and postoffice OF
our worthy postmaster. The fire ther
spread to the residence of Charlie:
Beebe and w. b. Rice, where by th'
heroic efforts the fire was got under
control at 1880 p. m. Conway & Ora
ham, grocers, w. S. Cole, Charlie
Beebe, A. l.. Anderson, and w. B
Rice, will all rebuild again. G. w
Atkins wishes to thank the boys fo
their efforts in saving his house,
